Postmining Pond Retention <br />As described in the Mine Facilities section, Pond 007 will be retained for use by the landowner and <br />the embankment of 5 th Street must remain for ongoing use of the road. See Attachment 2.05.3(3)- <br />16 Demonstration of Retention of Pond 007 for details. <br />Pond 008 was constructed in an area which contained three small stock ponds on the Burbridge <br />property. The landowner has provided a letter stating that he would like Pond 008 to remain to <br />replace the three ponds which existed in the pre- mining condition. This letter is provided in <br />Attachment 2.05.4(2)(C) -4 at the end of this section. Compliance with Rule Rule 4.05.9(13) (a) <br />through (f) for pond retention after reclamation is enclosed in Attachment 2.05.3(3) -19. <br />Postmining Roads <br />All of the original roads that cross the New Horizon Mine will be restored to original conditions and <br />Montrose County standards. Per the request of Cal Benson, the portion of the BB Detour Road <br />on his property will be left in place. A letter to that affect is attached to this section. <br />Postmining Drainage Channels <br />All major drainages in the New Horizon 2 area that are to be disturbed by mining activities will be <br />reclaimed to approximate the premining configuration and to blend with the undisturbed drainage <br />above and below the area to be reclaimed. Two pre- mining channels are encountered and <br />restored. These are called the Krill Channel on the easternmost portion of the mined area and the <br />San Miguel Channel which drains into the reclaimed area of Pond 007. Both of these channels are <br />shown on Map 2.05.3(3) -1 Surface Hydrology. The postmining drainage channels will be designed, <br />constructed, and maintained to the following specifications: <br />1.
